Yes, I have tried all com ports.
When you have Device Manager open, you can see the correct com port which relates to the USB port that is being used.

Update!
This morning I tried installing TOAF again, connected to the ZT first time, performed a scan which popped up one code, but thats it. I cannot go any further, as soon as I select another task (button) I get the 'BCU Module Connection Error' message.

You also need the cruise control switched on, the car in neutral and the handbrake applied.

.
I am think of doing you tube videos as well to accompany the guide ,from just resetting oil and inspection service, too ecu swamp ipk reprogram and adding. Things like bbus single entry click rain sensors and so on,
Would anyone be interested ????..

The you tube video demos are a good idea, showing set up and hands on use. How about going to some meets and giving demos of the equipment and software in action using your own car, just a thought. Cheers
